Terms and Conditions/Authorizations: AUTHORIZATION AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY I, the parent or guardian of the above-named child, authorize the participation of my child in Vacation Bible School (“Program”) hosted by Crossroads Church of Staten Island, NY (“Church”). I understand that this Program is a nonprofit Christian ministry for youth and that my child’s participation is voluntary and not essential to completion of requirements of any program, school or government agency. I understand that the Program is conducted by the Church and its volunteers and staff, including parents of other participating children. I further understand and agree that my child’s participation in activities of the Program necessarily involves the risk of injury and even death from various causes, including but not limited to accidents, falls, strenuous and prolonged physical activity, dehydration, illness, collision or dispute with other participants, weather related injuries, building and equipment defects, and negligence of teachers and volunteers. On behalf of my child, me, and my family, I assume these risks. In consideration of the privilege of my child’s participation in the Program, and on behalf of my child and me as parent/guardian, I hereby release, discharge, hold harmless and indemnify, and covenant not to sue, the Church, and all of the Church’s directors, officers, elders, trustees, deacons, employees, volunteers, insurers, agents and representatives, and all other persons associated with the Program (including without limitation any other participating churches, sponsors, parents, vendors, teachers and other workers, officials, drivers, and organizations) as to any and all claims of my child, me and other family members for personal injuries suffered by my child, property damage, medical expenses, and economic loss arising directly or indirectly out of my child’s participation in the Program, and any first aid, medical care or treatment provided to my child in the event my child is injured or becomes ill while participating in Program activities, and excepting claims that may not be released under applicable law. This Release of Liability shall be as broadly construed as allowed by law to include all claims and rights that the child, that I as parent/guardian, and that other family members may have. I am a legally responsible parent or guardian of my child. If any provision of this Release of Liability is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Release of Liability shall be binding on me, my family, heirs, next of kin, legal representatives, beneficiaries, successors and assigns. PHOTO RELEASE I hereby authorize the Church to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and to license others to use, reproduce, distribute, and display, my child’s image, and photograph, as well as any video, digital, or audio recording or reproduction, in connection with external and internal communications of the Church for the sole purpose of advancing the Church. MEDICAL CONDITIONS I understand that participation in the Program may involve activity. I agree that my child is healthy and able to participate in the Program activities. I understand that the Church or its representatives may request health information concerning my child and/or ask my child to undergo a medical exam. If the Church determines that my child does have a physical or mental condition that may affect his/her ability to safely and appropriately participate in Program activities, the Church may determine that my child cannot be permitted to participate. I understand and agree that, while the Church desires that all children will be able to participate, such decisions may have to be made out of concern for the best interests of my child and other participants. CONSENT TO MEDICAL TREATMENT In the event my child is injured or becomes ill in Program activities, and if I, the parent or guardian of the above -named child, am not present to make medical decisions, I hereby authorize the Church, its staff, volunteers including volunteer parent participants, teachers, assistant teachers, and others authorized by the Church to arrange for and consent on my behalf to emergency medical and dental care and treatment, including tests and radiological exams, and surgery, and hospital care and treatment, and to consent to medications for pain and other conditions as prescribed by medical personnel attending my child. I am responsible for payment of any medical charges or expenses not covered by my insurance or the insurance applicable to my child. My signature below indicates that all information provided in this form is true and accurate, and that I fully agree to all statements made on the form, including but not limited to the Authorization and Release of Liability, Photo Release, Medical Conditions, and Consent to Medical Treatment. My signature also indicates that all legal guardians are aware and consensual with the participation of the above-named child.
